25 | Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Keely Messerschmidt conducted an unannounced annual inspection for a large family childcare at the above home on 8/8/2025 at 9:50 AM. LPA met with Licensee Aubree Hunt, who guided LPA on a tour of the home. There were 10 children present including 1 infant (Licensees own child) and 9 preschool aged with Licensee and Assistant when LPA arrived.
The facility operates Monday through Friday from 7:00 AM to 5:30 PM each day. Certain areas are off-limits, including the entire second floor and garage. The facility is licensed as a large Family Child Care Home (FCCH) with a maximum capacity of 14 children and is operating within the licensed capacity of the license.
During the inspection, LPA observed Licensee to be responsive and aware of where the children were at all times. A working cell phone is available, and the current phone number on file is correct. A fully charged fire extinguisher 1A:10BC was observed but not the required 2A:10BC, see LIC809D page for cited deficiency. LPA observed a functioning smoke detector, but carbon monoxide detector had dead batteries, both of which were tested by the Licensee, see LIC809D page for cited deficiency. The fireplace is properly screened to prevent access by children, and all hazardous items, including toxins, are stored securely and are inaccessible to children. No weapons are present, and the Licensee, Aubree Hunt, understands that all firearms, weapons, and ammunition must be locked separately and made inaccessible as per Title 22 Regulations. Stairs are barricaded with a baby gate when children are in care.
The facility provides clean, safe, and age-appropriate toys for children. A current roster not on file, Licensee updated during visit. Required postings, including the Facility Sketch, Emergency Disaster Plan, and Notification of Parent’s Rights, are displayed. Fire and disaster drill documentation is maintained, with the last drill conducted on 5/1/25.
